Abstract
A programmable baclofen pump was implanted in 7 patients for relief of severe spasticity. The patients experienced improvement in bladder and sphincter function. This system would seem to be of value in improving lower urinary tract function in patients with diseases that produce marked spasticity.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
